is there a way to avoid new expression of cultural energy hardening into entrenched dogmatism? is it possible to carve out new cultural space without it closing off potential forward paths? what are some potential ways to disincentivize victory as a means of self-validation? idk, I'm just spitballing
For the last one, maybe convincing someone that constant progress is much more deeply fulfilling than immediate victory? After that, convince them that dialectics is optimized for such progress. After that, convinced them that the optimal approach to dialectics is to start from a position of acknowledged lack of knowledge (which, compared to infinity, applies to virtually everyone). That would be my blueprint, but have you any thoughts otherwise?
This is pretty much straight from Socrates, as far as I can tell, so it almost inevitably leads to the smart(ass) posing as the fool - but perhaps that is resolvable by shifting one's tone.
Solid.

Tugged between the war of Love and Truth,
each bearing, nested, the heart of the other,
veritably invisible to onlookers aside,
hearts only visible near enough one
to lose the other in the fog.
